Reasons for frequently spitting white sticky mucus are quite a few, but they are mainly related to lung and airway diseases. Common conditions include chronic bronchitis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which may cause patients to have long-term cough, spitting white sticky mucus or foamy sputum. In addition, acute tracheobronchitis can also cause cough and spitting white mucus in a short period of time. If there are structural diseases of the trachea, such as bronchiectasis, it is also easy to spit white sticky mucus.
How to deal with spitting white sticky mucus? It is necessary to perform a sputum examination to see if there is any pathogen infection. If there is pathogen infection, use the corresponding antibacterial drugs for treatment. If there is no infection, the main treatment is symptomatic, such as avoiding smoking, avoiding inhaling cold air and other irritating odors to the trachea. Patients should wear masks when going out, drink plenty of water, and avoid cold and spicy food. In addition, patients can take medicine to resolve phlegm, such as Feining Granules and Juhong Tanke Liquid. They can also take more vitamins to improve their physical resistance. It is recommended that patients who frequently experience such symptoms in their daily lives can learn more about it, take measures based on their personal situation, and actively improve their symptoms.
It is worth noting that if the patient has obvious changes in the sputum characteristics, such as from white to yellow or from white to green, it indicates that there are multiple different bacterial infections. The patient needs to identify the pathogen and then select targeted antibiotics for treatment.
